    Pokémon Aurum

    Hack of
    Pokémon Gold Version

    Info
    Well, this is my entry into the forray of ROM hacking. This hack is going to be mostly a map overhaul. I am inserting the original maps that were supposed to be in the game. I am doing this to bring out the true essence of Gold. Plus, It is too similar to Silver. Also, instead of Team Rocket, there is Tam Lancer.

    I hope to gain some experience from this hack so I can continue on the the next series of games.
    Storyline
    Defeat Team Lancer, blah blah blah. Best your rival, blah blah blah. Catch all the Pokémon, blah blah blah. No storyline change, basically.

    Features
    New team
    Mew and Celebi catchable
    New maps
    Some sprite changes
    Whirl Islands caves less difficult

    Screenshots
    New Bark Town

    Ehhhhhhhhh

    Not TO bad for your first hack.
     
    Hey nice work Don! It's good to see more 'Oldschool' Hacks! Keep up the good work!
     
    You should at least make a new overworld for some characters or something...otherwise it'd kinda be boring...
    I can help with sprites if ya need me to help! ;)
     
    i love it. you don't see many metal or color generation remakes anymore. i like how you rearranged all the buildings and stuff. One suggestion I have is to include different pokemon in different routes (for example, in my hack, which I failed miserably with, I included wild Dratini on the first route).
     
    @ Lord Kyogre: Eventually, I will redo the sprites. My main concern right now is that I do the maps, since that is the main point of the hack. Also, I do not need help, but thanks for offering.

    @ Shining Salamence: Thanks for the compliment. This wouldn't be a hack if you didn't edit the wild Pokémon! On Route 29, I have implemented Aipom as a wild Pokémon. (See screenshot)

    Well, I wouldn't post if I didn't have screenshots! So here they are! Route 29 and 30 to come later tonight.

    Here is a very small beta with a lot of glitches. Do not do any of the folowing:
    ~Look at any signs on Route 29
    ~Talk to any of the girls on Route 29 (Except for the green one. She's okay)
    ~Go under the Old Man's house in Cherrygrove after talking to Mr. Pokémon
    ~Talk to Kevin near the Lab
    Pokémon True Gold Beta

    Does that mean that Lake of Rage town will be in the game.

    Hmmm looks nice.

    Can I help in anyway? Spriting, mapping, beta testing?
     
    Thanks for the offer, but as previously stated, I do not nedd help. And yes, the Lake of Rage town will be in this hack. I hope that answers all future questions. Here are some screenshots of Route 30.

    imma see some of the new sprite changes, but good hack starting
     
    I tried the site and i type in the verifacation code and it does not work and i typed in the right code what do i do
     
    BTW, you forget to name it "Pokémon.ips" you named it just "Pokémon" I noticed that's IPS patch just by opening it in Notepad and renaming it. Don't forget to do it in the next beta.
     
    Really? Hmmm... I downloaded it at my friend's house and it was saved as an IPS patch. From now on, I am not going to use IPS patching anymore. I am going to use NINJA patching. (So get a new patcher!) Anyway, here is the complete map to Route 30.
